Hi Hap,

-> And you also. Is Amanda coming home in time to help with the baking and
-> cooking?

 HN> Oddly enough, she's flying in Tuesday
 HN> morning and flying back out again on
 HN> Thursday morning...she's coming for a
 HN> job interview. WISH she could stay longer
 HN> but work demands are high back in

Better some time than no time. Hopefully the interview will go well. If
she gets that job, does it mean she will be moving back up to your area?


 HN> Sacramento as it's the last two weeks
 HN> she'll be there and they/she want to
 HN> "wrap up" as much of her projects as

Understandable, she's worked on it all year and wants to complete it.

 HN> possible. But we WILL get to see
 HN> her and that's WONDERFUL!
 HN> fingers crossed that she gets
 HN> the position.

Kinda hard typing that way, isn't it? (G)

-> -> Now, the late Dave Brubeck.

 HN> and you can add the late Ravi Shankar
 HN> as well.

He wasn't a musician but I heard that Daniel Inoyue passed away also. He
was senator from HI when both you lived there and we lived there.

-> ->  HN> Even more ecclectic than you'd imagine...I
-> ->  HN> have about 18 different stations that I switch
-> ->  HN> between depending on my mood.

-> Multiple personalities? (G)

 HN> Perhaps...I'll ask the others (grin)

And the answer is...............................?

->  HN> True bluegrass I like, junked up stuff I
->  HN> don't care for as much.

-> OK, define the difference please.

 HN> Not sure I can...but I can
 HN> tell the difference when I hear it.
 HN> I like the vocals less as well.

IIRC, this was all music, no vocals. I've also got Smokey Mountain
Hymns, again, no vocals.

-> I know, the one bbq place that opened here a year ago October has gone
-> down hill. The meat is still good but the sides are not. We were at
-> Smithfield's the other day and Steve got the baked beans as one of his
-> sides. He said that theywere better than the last ones he had at the
-> Carolina Smokehouse. Sad day when a chain beats a free standing place
-> when the latter started out so good.

 HN> Once they get a following they
 HN> try to cut a few corners to make
 HN> a bit more on the profit side of the
 HN> ledger?

Don't know but we'd considered at one time taking the family there after
Steve's graduation. Decided not to after our last visit, went to my
MIL's favorite Italian place instead.

->  HN> Good luck!

-> Thanks; the last final is (final final?) is tomorrow morning. I got my
-> hair cut, changed the restaurant reservation number and have been
-> cleaning the house. Family starts arriving Thursday about noonish.

And now they're all home. I made a quick chicken soup for supper that
night that went over big. Helped to have stock in the fridge and
freezer, picked up a rotisserie chicken and frozen veggies, had pasta in
the pantry so it came together easily.

->  HN> Personally we've come to like the quiet celebration.

-> Wait till you have grandkids. It's going to be loud this year; we'll
-> have all 6 kids together with their parents. Kids range in age from 14
-> down to 17 months so it will definately be loud.

 HN> Are both daughters making it with
 HN> their young as well?

All but one granddaughter; she has to go to her mom's for Christmas. We
might get to see her afterward when we go down to AZ for a bit. Might
find some tamales down there, traditional Mexican Christmas food.
